I regret to inform the Deputy that it is not possible, in the time available, to provide all the information sought by him. I am advised that to compile the information required, so far as it relates to legislation other than Acts, e.g. Statutory Instruments, Regulations etc., would be a mammoth task which would absorb a disproportionate amount of available resources.
If the Deputy wishes to put down a more specific question, I will endeavour to ensure that all the information he requires is made available.
